I'm exactly the same, but I certainly wouldn't quit because another player is using a set of tactics that I don't approve of.

I hope in 11 there's a system where you can just load your saved tactics so that you don't end up sitting and waiting for 5 minutes while the other person sets up their team.

Poly is the worst for it. I swear he gives a team talk before each game.
Hi guys.
First off, thanks to LoveJoy! for pointing this thread out to me.
Secondly, before I get into this, I want it to be known I'm not "mad" as Scott, I'm not "upset" in any way that he used a custom formation against me, and I'm certainly not bitter about anything. After all, the game finished 4-4.
Now, before I start with my thoughts, I want you guys to have a look at the formation he used, and tell me how on earth you can justify it being realistic.
Scotts Formation
Now, can someone please tell me how you think this is an acceptable formation? Scott claims he puts his DM there because that's what DM's do, they "drop back" into the hole. I can accept that. What I can't accept is the fact that Gareth Barry, his DM in this case, is position BEHIND the 2 Center Backs. He's not even playing a 5-1-4 here, it's just a 5-0-5 and it completely ruins the gaming experience for most people.
Now, I don't care about people using custom formations, I don't. Usually if they have them v Me in a game, I quit before the 5 minute mark, the result is void and I find myself another opponent. The reason I didn't quit v Scott, is because it was an unranked friendly. The dude has to stoop that low in an unranked friendly game. It's pathetic, in all honesty.
After we played the game, and the words were exchanged on the WC2010 forum, I offered Scott a rematch, where by he uses a default formation. You know, we're both on the same playing field then. It's literally his skills, v my skills, and custom formations, and exploiting the game doesn't come in to it. I'm sure none of you will be surprised to hear that I didn't hear from Scott when I challenged him with that.
He knows he's not good enough at the game (although, he is actually a good player) - with standard formations, that he has to exploit the weaknesses to help him, rather than learn how to actually play the game. It's like using the Corner exploit in Football Manager, and then wanting praise for your player scoring 100 goals in a season. It's just not right.
Anyway, I talk a little more on the subject in my new Montage video which you can watch "here".
Sorry, just thought I'd drop that in there
Ultimately, if people want to use the custom formation, it's up to them, but you wont ever find me doing it, and you wont ever find me entertaining those that do. I hope everyone follows suit, and quits when they come up against them, and force them to use regular formations, or just never get games.
Good day.

Oh dear 
Edit - that is a cheesy formation, but if you are up against other people doing it I can understand why people use it to avoid losing and so on.
Also, you are right in your video about England being a good team on WC 'for some reason'

LMFAO.. this is ridiculous!!! hahaha
Can we please get on topic..
I'll accept Im a lamer, a bad player who needs to use custom formations to win... I'm a bad bad boy and should be spanked lmfao!!!
Just get back on topic, oh and if we do sort a league out here, if the rules apply that custom formations are not allowed, then I'll abide by them. However when I play online against people who will do anything they can to win, so will I... do you kinda get where Im coming from..
Please do not feed the troll C64 anymore, he has not brought anything of any value to this thread. .. adding to ignore list
I will not, under any circumstances talk about this stupid and sensless topic anymore, there are thousands of threads elsewhere on the net all moaning about the same stuff... to be honest I enjoy playing for fun and nothing more, thats why I always try to help people if I can. I would also like to hear what other people find effective, that way we can share information that may help us win games and compete against one another with more fluidity and skill!!!
Hi NepentheZ, I love your video's mate and think you are a great player. As I said in the other forums, I didn't think custom formations where so badly thought of as 90 percent of the players I play against online use them!!! so... We'll leave it there and I'll give you a game of Fifa 11 in a few weeks and you can choose what formation I use
...
all the best!!!

ScottFree that is between you and him now don't try and deflect the argument over to me calling me a troll.
I am not a troll I am just stubborn and have my opinions and stick to them and don't jump on bandwagons.
And I still think there's a hidden morale system or some form of counter pick in fifa that can work as I cannot explain how else in some games my players feel like they've been dumbed down.
Last night I was playing a game and I was on the back line played a through ball and I was 1 on 1 and just before I received the ball
the CPU literally physically stopped me from moving the player ( the player just stopped dead in his tracks despite my holding forward the entire time) that would have been clean through on goal so nobody can tell me I am wrong it's happening right before my eyes.okay all this stuff isn't happening to you but I can assure you I am not making it up it's happening to me quite a lot on ps3 wc 2010.Maybe I should stick to 5 star teams only then and play 5-0-5.
Anyway the point of the whole debate comes down to this.
A better player can lose to someone nowhere near as good simply because they are using a game mechanic exploiting formation as proven by your game with him.He is a much better player than you but you were able to compete because of your formation and not skill.

Can we just confirm that the CPU literally, physically stopped you from moving the player?
I think you should send it back for repair before it commits GBH on you.

Player was clean through on goal running towards the ball then suddenly he stopped in his tracks and that was all cpu decided and controlled I was holding the direction the entire time.

How would you go about countering it? I've struggled.
8-1-1 formation barry and carrick on the goal line so effectively you have 3 keepers.
I am taking it one step further and simply playing a 10-0-0 formation against these people

yea you are so kewl mate wish I was in on the big joke like you kewl guys
lets all laugh at the guy and gang up when you clearly don't even know what I am talking about
the computer ai in the game can restrict you from moving your player at times ie not allow you to move him it's called cpu aiding it happens to me quite a bit as well as it sending psses in the complete opposite direction of where you aimed the ball in order to aid the other player (hidden morale)
